Maxwell Could Be KKR’s Target

Last IPL season, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was part of Punjab Kings under Preeti Zinta’s ownership. However, he failed to live up to expectations due to injuries and a dip in form. As a result, Punjab Kings released him from the squad.

According to reports from sources like Khel Now, if Maxwell remains unsold in the upcoming IPL auction, it could put his IPL and international career at risk. KKR sees this as an opportunity. The Kolkata franchise is reportedly considering bringing the experienced Aussie all-rounder into their squad at a bargain price.

Maxwell’s IPL Career So Far

Glenn Maxwell made his IPL debut in 2012. To date, he has played 141 matches, scoring 2,819 runs and taking 41 crucial wickets. His highest score in the league is 95. However, in the last season, he managed only 48 runs in six innings across seven matches for Punjab. Bought for ₹4.2 crore, Maxwell’s performance last year was disappointing for the PBKS management.

This time, KKR plans to leverage Maxwell’s experience while strengthening their squad’s batting and all-round capabilities. The franchise, however, has not commented publicly on this potential move. IPL fans now eagerly wait to see who will bid for Glenn Maxwell and how KKR shapes their strategy for the upcoming season.

For the first time in its 11-year history, KKR has dropped the former West Indies all-rounder from the squad. Earlier, there were rumors that the franchise might bring Russell back at a lower price in the auction, but now the team seems unwilling to take that risk. As three-time defending champions, they appear focused on a fresh approach, making Russell’s return unlikely at this stage.

According to sources, KKR’s attention is now on two key foreign all-rounders. The first is England’s Liam Livingstone, recently left out of the retention list by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Livingstone is known in the IPL as a highly influential all-rounder across opposing teams.

The second target is Australian star Glenn Maxwell, recently released by Punjab Kings. KKR believes that acquiring either Maxwell or Livingstone at a relatively lower auction price could strengthen the team’s balance and overall power.

Although it is not guaranteed that both players will join the squad, sources indicate that KKR will likely try to secure at least one of them. If successful, the move would enhance the team’s all-round capabilities, making the side more versatile and formidable. KKR management has not made any official comments on this plan yet, but cricket circles speculate that it could bring a new dimension to the Kolkata squad.
